Keaton Henson - Teach Me Lyrics

Teach me how to love you like I wrote,
And say it like I mean it when I don't
Teach me how to hold you in my arms,
Without squeezing too damn tight and causing harm
I'll learn not to look at you with scorn
I will if you promise to never have been born

By all means, give me your lessons in my ways,
But damn it, don't expect me to change
Mold me to the man that I should be,
But don't consider that man to be free
And how am I expected to behave,
How when I'm alone with myself everyday

I never loved you enough, my love
And I'll never hold you close enough

Teach me how to love you like I wrote
And say it like I mean it when I don't

Insegnami ad amarti come ho scritto,
E dillo come se ci credessi davvero, anche se io faccio finta.
Insegnami come fare ad abbracciarti
Senza stringere troppo, troppo forte e farti male.
E imparerò a non guardarti con il disprezzo negli occhi
Se prometterai di non farmi mai soffrire.

E certo, dammi lezioni sul mio modo di fare
Ma dannazione, non aspettarti che cambi.
Modellami a immagine dell’uomo che dovrei essere,
Ma non pensare che quell’uomo sia libero.
E come posso fare a comportarmi bene
Se ogni giorno resto da solo con me stesso?

E non ti amerò mai abbastanza, amore mio,
E non ti terrò mai abbastanza vicina.

Insegnami ad amarti come ho scritto,
E dillo come se ci credessi davvero, anche se io faccio finta.

Sweet, but sad...

makes me cry so much! :,c

The first time I heard this I wondered why spotify was playing Band of Horses when I'd clicked on Keaton Henson.

The beginning is the exact same as their funeral song!

Thanking Grey's for introducing me to some great artists, like this one.

@Iliablun Thank you so much !!!!! I was looking for that song about 2 years ^__^.. actually the melody made me to read the comments :D <3

this feeling is so surreal and special and i dont know what to do with myself now 

Had the exact same thought as Iliablun, just like Band of Horses - The Funeral

love that song :)

This bit explains my ex pretty throughly, she expected me to be everything she wanted and when I wasn't exactly what she wanted, she went away.

By all means, give me your lessons in my ways,
But damn it, don't expect me to change
Mold me to the man that I should be,
But don't consider that man to be free
And how am I expected to behave,
How when I'm alone with myself everyday

i gave my ex all the lessons he needed to love me how i wanted him to,he got bored and left.

I don't know, if I am happy or sad, when I listen this song. But I know, I love this feeling ! ♥ :)

Amazing.

alcohol & drugs brought me here. he's a great artist btw :)

My Good taste of Music bought me here.

jajaja me too!!!

"Grey's Anatomy" brought me here. Just like "In the Flesh" introduced me to this great artist.

Grey's Anatomy brought me here... its a nice song... I love it...

I thought the same thing! I heard it on TV and started singing along and then realised i was wrong!

Suspiciously similar to Band Horses' Funeral.

Still a great album.

This guy is so under rated

One of the most haunting albums I've ever heard. <3

Thanks dude!
